In this article, originally from Forbes.com, the author looks back at last year’s horror movies and their grosses, before making a few predictions on what we might expect from the genre in the coming years.

While Piranha 3DD was never going to be nominated for a Best Picture award, there are plenty of horror movies worthy of an Oscar, so why does our beloved genre never get a look in when it comes to the Academy? Badass Digest investigates.

Last year was a particularly good one for horror movies, with fantastic releases from Independent studios as well as some of the bigger companies (Blue Ruin, Oculus, Starry Eyes, Housebound). Here, Horror-movies.ca looks at fourteen of last year’s best films, as well as a few you really didn’t need to see.
